As the North American International Auto Show winds down in Detroit, we here in Asia need not feel left out. Car nuts can head over to Singapore to check out the Singapore Motor Show, which runs from 12-15 January 2017 at the Suntec Convention and Exhibition Center.
The three-day event is a showcase of the latest cars, SUVS, and other four- and two-wheeled vehicles. Everything from econoboxes, sedans, hot hatches, sports cars, SUVs, and more will be on display for excited viewers to experience. Toyota, for instance, will show off its eagerly-awaited Coupe High-Rider or CH-R crossover. The compact little Toyota is truly a treat for the eyes, with its diamond-like design cues and youthful vibe.
Another hot number is the 2017 Subaru Impreza, which Motor Image Pilipinas says, will make its way to our market real soon. The erstwhile Impreza is now wider, lower, and sleeker. It rides on a new platform and promises even greater driving pleasure.
More Japanese goodness can be found in cars like the Nissan Pulsar, Nissan Note, Suzuki Ignis, new Mitsubishi ASX, the all-new Honda CR-V, and the Honda Civic Type-R. Lucky show patrons can also get a peek at the stunning latest-generation Honda NSX. The NSX, as car enthusiasts will note, is the H-badged brand’s very own supercar that can go head-to-head with the best that the competitors have to offer.
Not to be outdone, the Europeans are also making their presence felt in Singapore. Volkswagen fields the new Beetle Cabriolet—a nod to the iconic bug’s famous open-top forefather. VW will also launch the all-new Tiguan, which has proven to be quite a hit among CUV fans looking for something different and a bit premium.
Then there are Peugeot, with its next-generation 3008, and Audi with the R8 and the cute little Q2. And of course, Volvo won’t be left behind as it unveils the V90 and S90 premium offerings.
Yes, the Singapore Motor Show promises to be a treat for everyone. It’s one show you shouldn’t pass up.
